They seem to only come inside in the second floor of our house in the spring. I can’t leave the windows open. Now I see them in the trees right outside our house and crawling on our house so I know they are gearing up to come inside when the weather gets cool again.

I’m glad to find you. I have a site which I use to talk about the battle I’ve been having with them in MD. I need some organic solutions.

Just bought our first home, a log cabin in VA. The stinkbugs are coming in by the 100’s. They just seem to magically appear…I can’t even tell where they come in. I clear one room and w/in an hr it’s populated again.

Going to try spraying eucalyptus oil on the windows outside…but prob. won’t work. Please help!

My tomato crop last year was completely done in by the blessed things, after they moved on from the cucumbers earlier. I’d love to be a tester for anything that might deter them in the vegi garden.

Hi JB,

This year you will need to start spraying early and often. Remember to keep your lights out at night to avoid attracting stink bugs. You can also try releasing tachinia flies or parasitoid wasps, which will eat the stink bugs. Good luck.

I HATE stinkbugs!!! Last year in the early summer I bought a young weeping cherry tree, beautiful white flowers, nice waterfall of branches filled with leaves — for about 2 weeks. That’s how long it took for the stinkbugs to defoliate the tree. There were a few leaves left (like less than 10) on the whole tree. Thank God it is flowering now but I fear what will happen when those nice leaves come on shortly. HELP!!!

Help
Last year the stinkbugs completely took over my gardens and no sprays or repellents could make a difference. What can I do early on to prevent this again?

Not all stink bugs feed on tomatoes. Some feed on other insects, plants, and other fruit similar to tomatoes. Just thought I would let people know in case they thought they were safe from stink bugs.

We began getting mobbed with stink bugs late last summer and even after winter came and the windows and doors have been closed up, we still find more nearly every day. There were hundreds of them in the house. I hate them and don’t look forward to summer because of them. We have pets and Grandkids and don’t want to use anything that will harm them.

Hi Tara,

All of our products are safe for people and pets. I would recommend trying EcoSMART Flying Insect Killer. Some customers have reported that EcoSMART Ant & Roach Killer has been very successful at getting rid of stink bugs, too. If you want to put a perimeter around your home, too, try EcoSMART Home Pest Control (64 oz). For your plants, you should use EcoSMART Garden Insect Killer. Good luck!
